A DC-DC converter I'd like to use requires an input cap with a 10A
ripple current rating (at the coverter's rated output). I'm assuming
it's a 100KHz ripple rating, the data sheet doesn't say.
I can easily find 4A or so rated caps at the capacity/voltage/ESR I'm
looking for and was wondering if I can just parallel three of those
caps to achieve the 10A ripple current requirement? Assume that all
PCB traces are low impedance/inductance and that the caps are mounted
close together and close to the input of the converter.
Thanks!
